Heart Attack Fatal to John Herman Today
Express Messenger Dies Suddenly in Offices of Company Here This Morning
Suffering a heart attack this morning shortly after ten o'clock as he conversed
with Miss Minnie Torrison, cashier in the office of the American Railway Express,
on Quay street, John Herman, 46, express messenger on the runs between here and Two
Rivers and also from here to Chicago, dropped over on the floor and died before
physicians could be summoned.
Mr. Herman had not been in the best of health for the past three years of four
years but has been able to continue his duties with the express company. He had
visited the office of a physician a few minutes before who advised him that his heart
was bad and had stopped into the express office for a few minutes when he was stricken.
Agent Coats who was also in the office ran to Mr. Herman's aid but he was past help.
The remains were removed to the Frazier mortuary and it was announced that no
inquest would be held.
Lived Here Entire Life
The deceased was born in this city 46 years ago and has always made his home here.
He was married here in 1905 to Louise Cerull who survives him with two daughters,
Mrs. Peter Gehrke and Lucile, two sons, Earl and John, and his aged mother, Mrs. Otto
Herman, one brother, Emil and three sisters, Mrs. Edward Cerull and Mrs. Otto Metzger
of this city and Mrs. Jos. Kanz of Milwaukee.
Mr. Herman has been an employee of the express company here for twenty years. He
formerly drove a delivery wagon for the company and in later years took an express run,
part of the week being on the Manitowoc-Two Rivers run and the rest of the week between
here and Chicago.
He was a member of the Eagles.
Funeral services will probably be held on Monday from the home, 151 South Tenth street.
